What kind of curricula promote the best education for long-term peace in post-conflict, fragile and low resource contexts? Many kinds of primary and secondary school curricula aim to promote social cohesion, greater tolerance and recovery from violence.

In May 2012, Education Above All, a Doha-based education group, commissioned papers from practitioners and thematic experts that map and analyze the most widely used of different curricula, collectively designated as "education for global citizenship," and the policies that have accompanied their implementation.

To explore the findings of this research, the project director, technical adviser and expert on conflict and education, Margaret Sinclair, will discuss these research findings with experts from USIP and the Brookings Institution.

This event will feature the following speakers:

Presenter

• Margaret Sinclair, Technical Adviser to Education Above All, Doha, Qatar
  "Education for Global Citizenship in Low-Resource and Fragile Settings"

Respondents

• Jeff Helsing, Dean of Curriculum, Academy for International Conflict Management and Peacebuilding, USIP
• Xanthe Ackerman, Associate Director, Center for Universal Education, The Brookings Institution
